I don’t know whether anyone else has noticed but this Suggestions sub-forum is churning out less awesome, viable, and wanted Suggestions and more Complaints on a single thing that ANet changed or fixed in their last patch.
Now, I’m not saying that these Complaints should be shunted off to a single sub-forum to be collectively neglected, because that completely removes the voice of the players who don’t agree with where ANet take the game with their patches and updates; sometimes, they are completely legitimate responses to anything ANet have gotten wrong (take, for example, the very recent outcry regarding the Combo Kills daily achievement).
From where I stand though, they don’t really fit in the Suggestions sub-forum: shouldn’t Suggestions contain long-term, “this seems like a cool fix for something that hasn’t been working out for the game for a while now!” ideas? I’ve seen few from the past few days.
I honestly don’t see where asking to revert back to a previous method of doing dailies is much of a Suggestion at all, but only a Complaint.
Complaints should still be taken seriously though. That’s one thing I’m worried about for this prospective sub-forum. Could it gain notoriety as a sub-forum for whiners? Will it have “Warning! Cave troll(s)” as it’s icon on the forums page? I certainly hope not. Like I’ve said, many of these Complaints are completely legitimate. This voice should still be respected – perhaps it would be, under a different name such as Update Feedback?
Or maybe I’ve gotten the point of the Suggestions sub-forum all wrong. :\
